I heard a thump on my bed. Then I felt something crawl up my body. I opened my eyes to see the orange blob I had come to love wake me up. He did this almost every morning. He woke me up and  I fed him. That was our deal. 

I stood up and checked the time. 6:50, and I have to leave by 7:45 to make it to school by 7:55, when class begins.

I went down stairs and grabbed the cat food. I poored it into the small dish with little fish on it from when we got Oliver. I grabbed his water bowl that was attached by the thin metal outline that held them together. I went over to the sink and filled it to where there was a line from filling it there everyday. 

When I got back upstairs, I went to pick my outfit out for the day. I didn't have much left, as I packed most of it away for PAX. Hehe packed for PAX.. Sorry.

I ended up picking out this grey and maroon top and just wore some jeans with it. This shirt was what inspired my skin in the first place. I knew I wanted to be a tiger, but I didn't want just some plain tiger that so many other people already had. Joe told me, "Well just make it different colors," and thats just what I did. 

I put them on the headed to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and heard my phone go off. I checked it and it was (Shocker!) Joe. 

Joe: Good Morning! Can't wait for tomorrow!

Maria: Morning! Im hyped for tomorrow too!

I put on my makeup and left my hair in its natural waves. I went on my computer like always. I took a shower last night, so I had extra time today. I watched a few of my friends videos and edited a bit. Then Oliver nudged my leg telling me it was time to leave. 

I picked him up and kissed his forehead. "Thanks Bud," I told him before sitting him down on my chair. 

I grabbed my keys and a few dollars for lunch, picked up Joe, and headed to school. 

*Time skip because school is ew and I can MWAHAHAHA*

I walked out of history and waited for Joe to come out of the class room across the hallway. He came out talking to one of his friends that was in that class, and then left him to walk with me.

"Hey T!" he called me by my popular nickname.

"Aye Joe!" 

"We're still helping your dad move in today right?" he asked.

"Mhm. Im gonna get him to call in for me for PAX too, because God knows my mother and Travis would never let me." I told him with a small chuckle.

"I still don't understand why they hate me so much." He said as we got into my green GMC truck my dad left for me when he left to finish college. 

I never really said why he left did I? Well when ever I was in 7th grade him and my Mom got divorced, and he decided since he didn't have a degree in anything, he should get one in computer engineering. He's always been good at it. He built the computer I use to this day, except a few things I had to add to it. Anyways...

"'He's making you into a tomboy!' 'He's the one that made you do that YouTube thing'" I badly imitated my mother. Joe laughed at my imitation.

"Oh I'm sure I did!" he sarcastically said. 

I made my way to my dad's new/old place. He just bought it, but from the people he sold it too. Ironic that he got it back.

I pulled into the familiar drive way and parked next to my father's truck. I got out and looked a bit down the street and saw Joe's house. I walked towards the house and saw Dad through the window. I opened the door and walked into the red and white painted walls, previously painted a light blue. My dad had boxes sitting in the living room with labels saying which room they were for. 

"This is weird." Joe said, picking up a box label, "Master Washroom," oh my dad and his Canadian ways. 

"It's like the same, but so different at the same time." I said picking up another labeled "Master Bedroom". 

We walked upstairs to find my dad moving some of his clothes off of his bed and into his walk-in closet. 

"Hey Paps." I said, sitting down my box next to where Joe had put his.

"Hey hun." he turned towards me. "Isn't Gabe supposed to come?" he craned his neck to check if he was in the hallway. 

"I don't know. We're not as close as we were last time you came around to visit." I told him truthfully. We used to be super close when Mom and Paps first split up. Then I guess I got busy and he got busy. We talked less and lost interest in the things we had in common. 

"Oh. Well that's to bad. Hopefully he shows up so he can move some of the stuff into his room." He paused and chuckled. "Why don't you go and see what they did to your room?" He kept laughing and I got up furrowing my eyebrows at him. 

While I got up Joe stayed and talked with my dad. 

I walked into my old room, which keep in mind was once just a very light violet color. It was now bright pink and purple with Unicorns painted onto the left, pink wall. I laughed thinking about how I would have loved this when I was 5 or 6. 

Joe walked in and started bursting out laughing. He was laughing so hard he fell on some of the new furniture Paps had bought for me so I could stay over. 

I pulled out my phone and snapped a picture and put it on my Twitter.

WildishxTiger: OML WHAT HAPPENED TO MY ROOM!?

WildishxTiger: What color should I paint it? -_-

I left one of those poles with almost every color of the rainbow on it to let everyone decide for me since I was very indecisive.

Paps walked in and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Well looks like this is gonna need a paint job."

"Way ahead of ya."
